Dan,
Thanks for trying it again. I was puzzled why it would work for me and
not you. As a matter of fact, your meter is more sensitive than mine in
that my highest resistance scale is X1K. Yours is ten times more
sensitive than mine and should give a good reading. We had some fun
with this, but I was only trying to indicate to George Hahn that you
could check a condenser, if you had the right equipment.
If you are going to TRA, VTR or the Summer Party, perhaps we'll be able
to visit. Happy belated Birthday wishes!!
